Me too. So gross.

Five pages on this topic and no one has offered a solution! I’m a gassy person in general and this is what I do when I have to be on a long flight:

* I don’t drink any carbonated beverage before or during my trip.

* I make sure not to eat anything the day of my flight that tends to make me gassy like vegetables, shellfish, and beans.

* if I eat anything on the plane, I take some beano pills right before eating to prevent gas buildup.

* And regardless of whether or not I eat anything, I pop Gas-X pills throughout the flight to handle existing gas.

OTOH I have a distinct memory of having been on a really stressful business trip and as soon as I got on the plane I relaxed and unconsciously let fly the whole way to my seat. I felt bad but hadn’t even realized I needed to unclench or what the consequences would be….

I walked down a plane aisle once downwind from a crop duster. It was horrific.

Crop dusting is a great way to get back at those people who grab the back of YOUR chair and jar you when they stand up. High chance they’re also the kinds of people who recline their seat back too.

Do you hold your gas during flights?

Hell no. I fart with abandon. Good, stinky ones, too.

Some of you need to check your diet. Absolutely absurd that you’re negotiating with your bodies on whether or not you’re going to fart on a plane. Unreal how much you all seem to be farting throughout the day.

You are nasty op. Hold them in or go to the bathroom.

Uh huh 🤔

Right? It’s absolutely perfect that multiple DCUM posters believe their farts don’t smell.

And they simultaneously reduce other greenhouse gases in the air.

+1 and no smelly poo

They should prominently display this product in airport shops - https://www.pilulepet.com/en/?srsltid=AfmBOoqNCaonBowOYEGjEu2P53sv4Y7ZKGLG0F7IO1yXBx3k0pZjVI0d then folks wouldn’t have to worry.

I called B S. I have never farted in front of my DH in 25 years. Not even when I was pregnant. If you can’t hold it, you need to strengthen those sphincter muscles.

The idea of someone frantically clutching their rectum in their own home because they can't let their husband know that everyone poops is both hilarious and sad.

Not the pp but I tried this unsuccessfully. Sometimes I still try to do it but it only makes my stomach hurt more. My husband will push my stomach down to make me pass gas because he knows I’m holding it. Also yes, it’s pass gas. I never use the F word!! 🤣

I usually don't feel them coming? Obviously I'm aware if I have bad gas but I'm not deliberately holding painful gas in.

But also the idea of not even being comfortable pass gas whole pregnant. Around a guy who's likely to see you poo yourself at the end of said pregnancy.

It’s ok, she farts in her sleep. It’s so loud that it wakes him up.

That bit in Good Will Hunting was amazing. Might have won Robin Williams his Oscar.

Or are people also refusing to sleep on these flights?

Seems like a lot of personal discomfort.

My husband's farts are so loud and smelly that they sometimes wake me up.
